My Tea Routine

I buy loose tea from the local Whole Foods or Central Market. I realized recently that I spend between $5-10 per week on tea, in part because I make a lot of chilled tea. It is a little embarrassing to go through the checkout line and realize I have as many packages of tea as items of food. Well, that is why I am the Austin Tea Junkie. My true addiction came to light when I bought a water filter for the sink to improve the quality of my tea.

I brew my tea in the 16 oz and 32 oz IngenuiTea pots and then I decant them into my regular tea pots (current favorite -- 34 oz tea de chine bodum).

I typically drink black or oolong in the morning, oolong or green in the early afternoon, and chilled throughout the day. See, junkie.

Hi,
I think you should definitely try Tavalon Tea. They have tea bars in NYC but they also sell their teas online at tavalon.com I guarantee you won't be disappointed. I'm an avid tea drinker and absolutely love the quality and blends they have to offer at a great low price.
